January 2018 Transfer Thread

[Russ Atmosphere]

We’ve probably missed the boat with Oblak now though...

[Jay86]

Can we not just buy their goalkeeping scout?

We should do, they’ve had a bunch of keepers on their books the last 10 years who’ve gone on to be decent keepers elsewhere aswell.

[Jay86]

Sergio Asenjo, that shitcunt Joel from Everton, De Gea, Courtois, Moyà, Oblak. Just some of the keepers who’ve been on their books and had a decent career there or elsewhere, it’s mad really. People think of how well they replace their main strikers but they do it brilliantly with their goalkeepers aswell, I’ve never seen him play but Axel Werner is 21 and will probably be brilliant so we should get him now before Oblaks sold to Juventus to replace Buffon and Werner replaces him.

Atletico get all their players from Jorge Mendes and his dodgy bastard mates don't they? Say one thing for the game ruining cunts that invest in third party ownership of players, they seem to be a lot better at spotting talent than actual football clubs are.

[Gym Beglin]

Bilbao have a very good young keeper.

 

It’s outrageous the money in the PL and yet we end up with Oxlade Chamberlain and Solanke because we can’t wrestle gems off fucking Lazio or Leipzig.

What, prey tell, is wrong with Solanke or the Solanke deal?

[dockers_strike]

Bilbao have a good young keeper because he is not playing here. If he was he would undoubtedly be called shit and not good enough for a team like Liverpool.

He would after Achterberg got his hands on him

WATFORD WANT MARKOVIC

Oh Lazar Markovic, how easy it was to forget you. The Serbian came to England with a lofty reputation and made us dare to dream that he would be brilliant, but it really has gone very badly indeed. Jurgen Klopp spoke regularly about trying to sell Markovic in the summer, but no deal occurred.

 

Now, Marco Silva and Watford might be ready to save Markovic from his Anfield mess. Markovic has already played under Silva at Sporting CP, and a deal was touted in the summer. Signing him on a cut-price permanent deal would make a lot of sense. He is only 23, after all

[Thoth]

Liverpool target Zeca is ready to take his current club Santos to court.

[joe_fishfish]

Definitely sounds like we're in for him then.

[Harry Squatter]

Zeca 25:17

[G Richards]

Zeca virus.

[sir roger]

Must have cost a fortune to get him to Blackpool on the sly.

[Gym Beglin]

We're one of the richest clubs in the world and our 3rd choice striker in 20 and has never scored a goal in this country.

 

Marcus Rashford is 19, has scored 13 PL goals, and is behind Lukaku, Ibrahimovic, Martial as the United striker.

 

Spurs: 

Kane/Son/Llorente/Janssen

 

City

Aguero/Jesus/Sane

 

Chelsea

Morata/Batshuayi/Pedro/Abraham

Well, that's not the same thing. We should absolutely have another striker (in my view, to go to the top of the chain), but Solanke is a quality young player. We should be buying more of them.

[TheHowieLama]

You would be better asking how Sturridge is still around. 

[Pureblood]

How is Sturridge still around?

[Jockey]

I think Mane/Salah/Firmino will score more than 

 

Rashford/Lukaku/Mkhitaryan

 

Morata/Hazzard/Pedro

 

Kane/Eriksen/Ali

 

Giroud/Sanchez/Ozil

 

If Firmino playing means Salah and Mane score more, then i'm happy with him. If a Suarez, Torres becomes available then yes. Roberto is underrated in my opinion - scores and creates. 

[TheHowieLama]

He cant get very far -- pace is down to 76 on FIFA and apparently needs a ride from Oxlade-Chamberlain wherever he needs to go.

 

That is what I can decipher from his current posted highlights.

[TheHowieLama]

Roberto is underrated in my opinion 

 

And he is a licker , not a biter.

[Jockey]

See - versatile! 

[G Richards]

Solanke wasn’t getting a look in at Chelsea. While some would like to see a bit more of him here, me included, he’s closer having displaced Origi.

 

It’s not fair to cite his age and lack of goals, as he hasn’t had (much of) a chance yet.

 

I completely agree that I’d like to see us sign someone to go to the top of the pile, and get rid of Sturridge too.

All I the only one that sees nothing to write home about regarding solanke.

 

Same can be said for the rest of our "strikers" in all honesty.

 

It's the first time in quite a long time where we haven't had a really good striker.

 

From fowler to Owen, then Torres not too long after, then straight into Suarez.

 

Fuck all since then really.

[Pureblood]

Yet we're scoring more goals than ever before.

 

Nothing to see here, just Funnneeeee on a fishing expedition.
